I have same scatter shield and needed that kit too. I gave up and went back to a stock bell housing. I had already bought brand new flywheel, twin disc clutch setup. I had it for sale but can't in good conscience sell it someone and stick them with something they cant use. So now its a $600 paperweight until I figure out what to do with it. Maybe if I get ambitious I'll draw up the parts and see if I can get a machine shop to fabricate them.

They do make 143 tooth wheels with multiple patterns on them. I have drilled my own flywheels before for custom plates. Gus

I have seen a few of these laying around my bolt buckets. I can look for one this weekend if you need it. Let me know. I'm talking about the little metal cup that holds the nose of the starter.
If you do run the scatter shield, make sure you not only check the runout on the alignment of the input opening in relation to the crankshaft centerline, but also that the face of the transmission mounting surface is parallel to the back of the block. I have to use both the offset dowels AND small thin washers to line my scatter shield up square too and centered too the crank.
Many people only check the opening runout and skip the later. It is just as important that it be correct.

Three speeds and four speeds have different mounting bolt patterns on the bell to trans interface. So even if you had the proper diameter input bearing retainer you'd be up the crick.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

How can you determine if your scattershield needs this kit? If you have a scattershield that can be used with either a 130 or 143 tooth flywheel AND you are using a 130, then you need the kit. HOWEVER, it is really adsvisable that you use the starter snout support regardless as this goes a long way towards saving starter motors. Stock bells have a machined provision to support the starter snout, scattershields don't. http://www.brewersperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=SAC-LWAren't all smallblocks 130 tooth? I suspect the smallblock scattershields are specific and are all 130 tooth.
